belangelo ride

[Duncan MurphyMember]

keith and myself went on thursday for a ride down to belangelo state forest,, I wanted to keep a low profile just in case the tm gave me any trouble, however all went well with my bike and keiths ktm250 just purred along,,, tho I did have some dramas,, the bloody car gave me trouble,, typical huh,, the car started to run a bit off like spark plug failure,, we made it back to syd but was a slow ride,, I looked up on the net about the plugs on this car,, crikey it takes 12 plugs at $23 bucks a plug,,kin ell,, so got onto the net and ordered 12 from the states for 100 bucks,, hopefully they’ll be here in time for the drive up to wauchope,,

Hey Zippo,
You don’t have much luck with the exotic european stuff do you??? I suppose they figure if you can afford a Mercedes you can afford to buy 12 plugs????? It is wrong that you can get the same parts from the other side of the world for a fraction of the cost you can buy them here though,especially with the AUD as strong as it is against the USD.
So the TM went well then?? How many km did you guys ride???

we rode 58 klicks, I,m gonna try and get another ride in next week just to make sure I,m happy with the bike and then if alls good I,ll put on my extra fuel tank which fits on where the headlight normally goes,, that’ll give me an extra 5 litres,
